White’s 1842

Winteringham, a long straggling village, on a bold declivity, on the south side of the Humber, 7½ miles W. of Barton, has now in its parish 691 inhabitants, and about 3050 acres of
land. Lord Carrington owns a great part of the soil, and is lord of the manor, which was anciently held by the Marmions, one of whom, in the reign of Edward II, obtained a charter for a market here, but it was
discontinued several centuries ago. A pleasure fair is held on July 14th. The copyholds are subject to small certain fines. In this parish, the great Roman road, Ermine Street, is continued across
the broad channel of the Humber, by means of Brough ferry. Stukeley says, "upon a rising ground, at the end of the road, a little to the right, and a half a mile to the east of Winteringham, stood the
Roman town, Ad Abuta, of which the people have ploughed up great foundations within memory; `tis now a common, skirted by the marshes of the Humber. The city was ploughed up about six years ago (1700,)
and great quantities of antiquities found, now lost; great pavements, chimney stones, &c., often breaking their ploughs. In several they found streets made of sea sand and gravel.

The old haven mouth is called Flashmire, and is over against Brough, a Roman town, on the Yorkshire shore." the flat, by the Humber, as well as the banks above it, affords
a most agreeable promenade or drive, in which the broad bosom is seen laden with all sorts of craft, and giant steam is beheld triumphing over both land and water,- the Humber Packets and the trains of the Hull and
Selby railway, on the opposite bank of the river, darting to and fro before the eye with the fleetness of wind; whilst, in the background, are seen many handsome villas, and the bold ranges of the Yorkshire
Wolds. Near the village, is a chalybeate spring, supposed to possess great medicinal properties. The Church (All Saints) is a neat structure, of Early English architecture, lighted by lancet shaped
windows, and consisting of a nave, with aisles, a chancel, a chapel on the north side, and a western tower. The arches have zigzag and other mouldings, and in the chancel is a tomb, on which is laid the figure
of a knight in armour, probably one of the Marmions.

The Rectory, valued in K.B. at £28, and now at £657, is in the gift of the Earl of Scarborough, and incumbency of the Rev. Fras. Swan, of Lincoln. At the enclosure, about 300 acres
were awarded in lieu of tithes, the Independents, and the Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists, have each a chapel here, and there is a National School in the village. The poor parishioners have divided among them
yearly, in money and coals, £13. 4s. 4d., arising from the bequest of the Rev. Thos. Adams (£100,) Eleanor Scarborough (£100 in 1815,) Roger Manners (£3.6s. 8d. per aim., left in 1596,) and Thomas Middleton. They
have also £16 per annum, from a house and land, left by Thos. Boothby, in 1682, except four acres allotted at the enclosure. The Rev. Thos. Adams, who died in 1784, was rector here, and author of "Private
Thoughts on Religion," &c. Henry Kirk White, the late youthful poet of Nottingham, was some time at school here. Mr. Burkill, a respectable corn merchant, on retiring from commercial pursuits, has recently
been presented with a massive piece of plate, as a token of respect from the gentlemen with whom he had conducted business. White poppies are cultivated in this neighbourhood for distillation.

WINTERINGHAM is an old corporate town, parish, and pleasant village, "which formerly had a market, on the south bank of the Humber, in the Northern division of the county, parts
of Lindsey, northern division of the wapentake of Manley, petty sessional division of Winterton, Glanford Brigg union, county court district of Barton-upon-Humber, rural deanery of Manlake, archdeaconry of
Stow, and diocese of Lincoln, 2½ miles north from Winterton, and 7 west from Barton. The church of All Saints is a neat building, in the Norman and Early English styles of architecture, consisting of nave, aisles,
south porch and transept, and has a tower at the west end containing 5 bells : some of the windows are of stained glass, by Wailes, of Newcastle: a small but good organ, by Foster and Andrews, of Hull, has been
recently placed in the church. The register dates from the year 1561. The living is a rectory, annual value £700, with residence, in the gift of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and held by the Rev. Charles Knowles,
M.A. of that college. There is a National school, erected in 1845. The Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists have each a chapel. A pleasure fair is held here on the 14th of July.

The poor have yearly, in
coals and money, the sum of about £12, arising from the bequests of the Rev. Thomas Adam, Eleanor Scarborough, Roger Manners, and Thomas Middleton, and a dole of Mr. Thomas Boothby's produces about £16 per
annum. On the riverside are wharves for corn, malt, coal and timber. On the Humber the Hull, Gains- borough, Goole and York steamers run, and on the opposite shore is a station of the Hull and Selby Railway. About
half a mile east of the village the Roman town Ad Abum is supposed to have stood. Near the village is a chalybeate spring, thought to possess great medicinal qualities. Lord Carington [sic], who is the lord of the
manor, and the Rev, Charles Knowles, M,A., owner of the glebe are the principal landowners. The soil is a rich loam, resting on the oolitic limestone strata, which in this neighbourhood is but a little
distance from the surface. The area is 3,979 acres of land, and 1,705 of water, principally arising from the washing away of the banks of the Humber, and the population in 1861 was 858.

Winteringham, a long straggling village, on a bold acclivity, on the south side of the Humber, 7½ miles W. of Barton, and 2½ miles N. of Winterton, has now in its parish 779
inhabitants, and about 3970 acres of land. Lord Carington [sic] owns most of the soil, and is lord of the manor, which was anciently held by the Marmions, one of whom, in the reign of Edward II., obtained a
charter for a market here, but it was discontinued several centuries ago. A pleasure fair is held on July 14th. The copyholds are subject to small certain fines. From this parish, the great Roman
road, Ermine street, was continued across the broad channel of the Humber by means of Brough ferry, which has for some time been discontinued. Stukely [sic] says, "Upon a rising ground, at the end of the
road, a little to the right, and a half mile east of the present Winteringham, stood the Roman town, Ad Abum, of which the people have ploughed up great foundations within memory; 'tis now a common, skirted by
the marshes of the Humber. The city was ploughed up about six years ago (1700), and great quantities of antiquities found, now lost; great pavements, chimney stones, &c, often breaking their ploughs.
In several places they found streets made of seas sand and gravel. The old haven mouth is called Flashmire, and is over against Brough, a Roman town, on the Yorkshire shore." The flat, by the
Humber, as well as the banks above it, affords a most agreeable promenade or drive, from which are seen the broad bosom of the estuary, laden with all sorts of craft, the Humber packets and the trains of the Hull
and Selby railway, on the opposite side of the rover; and in the back-ground many handsome villas, and the bold ranges of the Yorkshire Wolds. Near the village is a chalybeate spring, supposed to possess great
medicinal properties. The Church (All Saints) is a neat structure of late Norman and early English architecture, lighted by lancet shaped windows, and consisting of a nave, with aisles, a chancel, south
transept and a western tower. It was restored in 1851 at a cost of £1300. The arches have zig-zag and other mouldings, and in the interior of the building is the figure of a knight in armour, probably
one of the Marmions. The church also contains an organ built by Messrs. Forster and Andrews of Hull, about seven years ago, and several windows of modern stained glass. The rectory, valued in K.B. at
£28, and now at £730, is in the patronage of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and incumbency of the Rev. Charles Knowles, M>A>, who has about 280 acres of glebe, and a good rectory house, built in 1847. The
Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists have each a chapel here; there is a National School in the village, built in 1845. A Library, containing over 200 volumes, with Reading Room, supplied with daily newspapers,
magazines, &c., was established here in 1869, and of which the Vicar is president; Mr Bickell, secretary; and Mr Henry Burkill, librarian. The poor parishioners have divided among them yearly, in
money and coals, £13. 4s. 4d., arising from the bequests of the Rev. Thomas Adam (100), Eleanor Scarbrough (£100 in 1815)), Roger Manners (£3. 6s. 8d. per annum left in 1596) and Thomas Middleton. They have
also £16 per annum, from a house and land, left by Thomas Boothby, in 1682, except four acres allotted at the enclosure. The Rev. Thomas Adam, who died in 1784, was rector here, and author of "Private
Thoughts on Religion," &c. Henry Kirke White, the youthful poet of Nottingham, was sometime at school here.
